PerryT Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 What events would you say have led to the right's push back in recent years? Do you think it was feminism, and the endless attacks on men? Was it immigration issues, Obamacare, or something else? I know YouTube has played a major part in the shift, but I wonder what the actual events transpired that people started finally saying enough is enough.
shirgall Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 I've been pushing back since the 1980s. Ross Perot was a push back. Reagan was a push back. The Libertarian Party was a push back. The NRA/ILA was a push back. But the fundamental problem is that people that just want to be left alone aren't really great at coalition building. 1
PerryT Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 There has been push back for a long time, but now I see there really is a major shift. Ordinary people all over the world like me, who just want to be left alone are fed up with PC and endless interference with our freedom. I am just trying to figure out when we started actually becoming uncucked.
jimofflorida Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 and the recipe is: 1 cup of Those people working for a living and noticing the continual decline of respect for the producers in america vs welfare state who just kept wanting more because they, well, just want it. Add a pinch of insane levels of political correctness insanity 1 teaspoon of watching our education system produce adults with "I am a delicate flower" complex Combine that with how Hollywood millionaires keep spewing more and more about how the needy need more and well (oh the irony of that from people that actually do not "produce" much of anything) and a heaping bowl of the democratic party candidate that, on a civil service salary her entire career somehow had amassed a couple hundred million dollars of net worth; with a fair amount of it from foreign countries. tada recipe complete for full meal of "what the heck is going on with the government" !! but you know what, the systemic problem is that the welfare state has now been ingrained in a couple of generation and the truth is that the "majority" of american voters (empathetic fools, precious flowers, and well, most of California) will most certainly "outvote" the workers of america and, well, that is fatal flaw of Democracy... it requires a realistically educated voting class which the democrats have successfully salted the earth upon which it may grow here in america. To be honest I do not see an answer to this fatal attack on "America"...I think the blow is fatal.
